I got a haircut when I was 8.5 months pregnant. I got another one yesterday. Yeah. That's 8 months. My hair, was BAD. I don't think I have left the house with my hair in anything other than a ponytail in about 4 months. So I finally decided that it was time. I had to find a hairdresser in the area and make the time to get it done (along with a much needed eyebrow wax). The trick was, finding a hairdresser. So I posted on The Bump on my local board and got a couple recs. One of them seemed the most promising (nearby, very well rated online) until I saw the prices. I am not a cheap person, but I cannot afford to pay rates starting at $85 for a haircut and $30 for an eyebrow wax. So I went for the second one, which was much further away but they had availability and were nice when I called. I got an early early morning appointment, before work ( I didn't know salons opened that early). Ryann did my hair, she was very nice. She has a 4 month old son so we had lots to chat about and I was very happy with the job she did. When I took my hair down, I asked her very nicely not to say anything about the state of it because I knew that I had been severly lacking when it came to hair maintenance. She didn't say anything but when she was actually cutting it, she looked nervous about what I thought. She kept saying, I know it looks like alot but this is what it will take to get it shoulder length. I told her I knew it would be alot and that it was ok. She still looked nervous, but still did a great job. I think she took off about 6 inches. I don't have any before pics to share, because my hair was always up in a ponytail, but here is what it looks like now. Not the best pic since I took it in the bathroom mirror but whatever...
I can't even explain to you how much better this is and how much better I feel. Everytime I go to the salon, I feel so good afteward, and I wonder why it always takes me so long to go back. Hopefully this time, I won't wait so long (definitely not 8 months!).
